Chapter 126: Victory Without a Fight

After making the agreement with Lin Lei, Bud and the other two didn’t stayed any longer. They immediately turned and returned to their rooms, beginning a new round of secluded meditation.

But of course, what was different this time was that they walked straight into the mageforce barrier which Lin Lei had drawn up earlier.

You’re a b*stard If given an advantage, and you did not take it.

This was the secret of advancing to become a Great Sage. The three of them had come to a tacit agreement.

From Afar, Lin Lei, who saw this scene with his Eye of Inspection, naturally didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

However, he didn’t say anything. He patted Ella on the shoulder and smiled.

“Let’s go, Ella. I will teach you another strengthened version of the Freeze Spell… This time, I will give you a mission, you must learn it within 10 days… !”

“Alright!”

Hearing Lin Lei’s words, Ella nodded with all her might.

…

10 days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the morning of the tenth day, Bud, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes and looked out.

And then, in the direction of his gaze, the wooden window let out a sizzling sound.

Right after, a ball of white mageforce covered it.

In the area covered by the mageforce, the wooden window was covered with a layer of frost!

“It’s done… finally… finally barely freeze the mageforce… !”

Bud was overjoyed!

Even when he advanced into a Great Sage in his previous life, he was not as happy as he was right now!

This was a transformation in between the mageforce!

In the entire mainland, how many people could accomplish this?

Only Lin Lei and Ella could accomplish this so easily.

However, they were evils, and couldn’t be compared with.

For him to be able to accomplish this, it was definitely due to his extraordinary talent!

Bud consoled himself in this manner. Then, he looked at the time and realized that there were still a few hours left before the appointment time.

He therefore let out a long sigh of relief.

I made it.

What I need to do next is to transform more Ice Mageforce.

If I remembered correctly, 10 days ago, Ella had been able to cover the thirty feet tall tree with Ice Mageforce.

Therefore, if I could freeze a larger area of trees or other objects, I would definitely be able to win this time…

Bud secretly speculated. Then, without wasting any more time, he directly condensed the Ice Mageforce using the method just now.

Due to his first successful experience, the subsequent experiment went much smoother.

Soon, Bud could freeze the entire window.

Of course, naturally he had to use up a lot of mageforce.

However, as an expert at the peak of the Sage realm, did it matter with the use of this little mageforce?

Without stopping, Bud continued to circulate the mageforce in his body and tried to transform more mageforce.

Although he could clearly feel that the speed and purity of his Ice Mageforce was far inferior to Ella’s, as his realm was much higher than Ella’s, his mageforce reserve was naturally more abundant.

Therefore, he was confident that he could create a wider range of the Freeze Spell!

…

While Bud was training with full confidence, Wharton, the old beggar, and William, the bard, also had an epiphany about the essence of the Freeze Spell.

In their secluded room, a thick layer of frost had formed on the roof.

This way, after 10 days, they had finally caught up to the pace and had the ability to compete with Ella.

The three of them all let out long sighs of relief. Not only there was joy of being able to train in Ice Mageforce, there was also excitement of saving face.

…

An hour later, after the three of them felt that they were able to use their Ice Mageforce in a very basic way, they leapt out of the room together, preparing to rush towards Lin Lei’s courtyard.

On the way, they all had smiles on their faces, and in their hearts, they began to imagine the scene Lin Lei imparting to them the secrets of the advancement to the Great Sage realm.

They were confident that this time, they would definitely be able to defeat Ella!

Their imaginations were perfect, but their first step had already failed.

When they were about to arrive at Linl Lei’s courtyard, before they could enter, they had discovered that with Lin Lei’s courtyard as the center, everything within a kilometer had been covered with a thick layer of ice.

To their surprise, they discovered that this layer of frost not only had frozen the houses, trees, grass, and everything else that could be seen, in fact, even the wind in the air and the clouds in the sky, as long as they were within this area, had all been frozen into ice.

This scene was simply astonishing and inconceivable!

“This… could it be that it was Lin Lei who was using the Ice Spell?” Wharton, the old beggar, couldn’t help but speculate.

“Very likely. This should be the complete version of the Ice Spell. It can freeze a thousand kilometers and freeze all living things!”

William said with a sigh.

“Although I also felt that Lin Lei was the one using the Freeze Spell, but… I can’t sense Lin Lei’s aura from this Mystic Ability…”

Bud frowned as he was thinking.

He had a guess.

But he definitely didn’t believe that it was true!

…

Feeling puzzled, the three of them walked towards Lin Lei’s courtyard.

When they entered the courtyard, the first thing they saw was an unbelievable scene:

In the courtyard, Lin Lei was standing with his hands behind his back, his gaze was gentle as he stared at Ella, who was standing in the center of the courtyard.

As for Ella, she was hovering in mid air with her eyes closed.

Around her, streaks of snow-white mageforce were drifting about, spiraling upwards, before finally reaching a thousand meters in circumference.

Seeing this scene, everyone quickly understood:

Who was the one who did the scene of a thousand meters of ice outside the house…

It was Ella!

Hiss —

After hearing this answer, the three of them widened their eyes and sucked in a breath of cold air.

This, this…

This was impossible!

A ten-year-old child, even if she was gifted, but… her mageforce was limited!

Given the power of a second rank Magus like Ella, how could she possibly be able to use such a large amount of mageforce?

As everyone knew, the more powerful a Mystic Ability was, the more mageforce it would consume.

As for the Ice Spell, which could be considered a top-tier divine ability, the amount of mageforce it would consume was even greater,

Ella…

How could she possibly be able to continuously generate the mageforce?

Impossible!

This must be Lin Lei’s scheme again!

The three of them thought to themselves, consoling their wounded hearts.

However, right at this moment, Bud couldn’t help but glance at the mageforce circuits in Ella’s body, and then, to his surprise, he discovered a new anomaly…

Ella…

She was no longer a Magus of the second rank!

She was…

A Magus of the fifth rank!

Oh my God!

What the hell was this?

10 days, and she had risen three ranks in a row?

Did you think this was playing a game?

Bud’s hair stood on end. His mouth was agape, and he didn’t say another word for a long long time.

As for Wharton, the old beggar, and William, the bard, after noticing that Bud was acting strange, they followed his gaze and quickly noticed that Ella was acting strange as well.

Subsequently… the three of them fell silent at the same time.

…

“Eh? Bud, you’ve arrived? Don’t just stand there. Come in and sit down!”

Lin Lei turned his head, pretending to be surprised to see Bud and the other two, and spoke warmly.

It seemed that he had just discovered that the three of them had arrived. But as the Eastern Emperor, how could he not have noticed that Bud and the other two had arrived long ago?

The reason why he had only greeted them at this moment was so that they could discover Ella’s current level of cultivation.

In this manner, most likely the three of them would no longer be in the mood to fight for victory.

Then ass expected, just as Bud and the other two were in front of Lin Lei…

They stared at Ella for a long moment of silence, then let out a sigh and said.

“Lin Lei, we lost.”
